I also think this young Marine is getting slimed in the press, and I support him. My prayers are with him and his family.
I have attempted to consolidate information on how to voice your support for him below, with the help of a few FReepers' postings on this threads:
You can call the Office of Commandant of the Marine Corps 703 614 2500 (Washington DC). Voice your support to his public relations officer for the Marine in question. Do the same for the White House and your state representatives. Support this Marine!

I think NBC was ready to be given the Pulitzer Prize for this story and they are in shock how it is being received.
CALL NBC in DC NOW AND COMPLAIN 202-885-4200

Just talked to a very nice young man in Marines PR. They are getting lots of phone calls this morning!! I asked he what we could do to help get the embedded reporters out of Iraq. He said actually they have proved to be beneficial most of the time. He suggested we notify MSM and Congress to voice our displeasure at how this news story was handled......I assured him we would. He was most appreciative of our support -- told him the internet was buzzing this morning in support of this young Marine as well as all our troops. I suggested that a new procedure of having the reporters be the ones to check "injured" terrorists to see if they're bomb-free might be in order. He appreciated that! EVERYONE CALL NOW - LET THE MARINES KNOW WE SUPPORT THEIR ACTIONS.

Also, it's worth dropping an e-mail to Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's "Scarborough Country" (10pm ET). Undoubtedly, he will take up this Marine's cause, starting tonight. E-mail Joe at joe@msnbc.com
